Well, it's my birthday too. This is one of several days each year that I do the obligatory banging of the tip jar(s) -- which can be found in the right sidebar below. For those of you who prefer to give a gift instead of cold, hard cash, you can find my Amazon wish list here. Unfortunately, the wish list widget hasn't been working the past few days, so you can't see a preview of "stuff I'd like to get" just by scrolling down.

I understand these are tough financial times, so if you choose to pass on this opportunity to make my day a little bit brighter, then don't forget that if you click on the Amazon.com ads below before you purchase something that you were going to purchase anyway, that I do get a cut of that -- even if you buy it from a private seller.
